US timezone changes 2007

[hcclnoodles]

Hi

As per Suns guide, I have installed the 2 patches that are required to prepare for the US DST change. The first patch updates the zoneinfo database in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo and I can test that the patch has worked by running the following command

zdump –v US/Eastern | grep 2007

The second patch is a patch that makes changes to the libc library for POSIX based timezone stuff. Which I have applied and rebooted

My question , How do I test that the libc/POSIX patch has worked???? …. What command can I use to see if the date has changed ? As I say testing the zoneinfo patch is easy…but this one has me stumped


Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Gary

If this in not a production Server then you could try to set the Date to March 12th. Then the time should be an hour ahead.
